2017 Map of Box Butte Reservoir West

About this map

The Niobrara River flows through this High Plains landscape, feeding into the western reaches of the Box Butte Reservoir. This 2017 survey captures the intersection of the Dawes Co and Box Butte Co line, where the terrain shifts from the river valley into the complex drainage of Sand Canyon and Sand Canyon Cr. This area of Nebraska is characterized by its rural infrastructure, with routes like Hollibaugh Rd and River Rd providing access to the riparian corridors and the surrounding tablelands. Smaller watercourses like Willow Cr drain the northern sections of the quadrangle, illustrating the intricate natural hydrology that defines the region’s topography. The map provides a precise view of the modern boundaries and land management divisions within these two Nebraska counties.
